Test a grafix card
I bought a new card a few days ago (ATI 9600 XT) and noticed the fan did not spin 
I ran a game on it in high settings to see if the fan would cut in (advice from someone).
It didnt and the heat sink got very hot.
When I removed it to send it back I noticed one of the wires to the fan was not pushed right in, Pushed it in a now the fan works...yeah
I'm just worried that some damage could of been done when it got hot.
So is there anyway of testing a grafix card?

Just noticed that now on two occasions the pc has crashed,
The screen spazes out looks like an old spectrum loading
then the screen switches off saying No signal, All I can do is reboot and then it seems ok again, could this be because of the grafix card as it never happend before I fitted it.
